database

Vocabulary Word

Definition

In simple terms, a 'database' is a structured way of keeping the information so that it can be easily stored, accessed, managed and updated. Imagine a library of books organized in a very specific way.

Examples in Different Contexts

For creative projects, 'databases' can hold assets like images, videos, and sound files. A graphic designer might note, 'All our design elements are stored in a centralized database, streamlining our workflow.'
